It was one of the first edge detectors and was initially proposed by Lawrence Roberts in 1963. [1] As a differential operator, the idea behind the Roberts cross operator is to approximate the gradient of an image through discrete differentiation which is achieved by computing the sum of the squares of the differences between diagonally adjacent ...
The Marr-Hildreth edge detector [25] is distinguished by its use of the Laplacian of Gaussian (LoG) operator for edge detection in digital images. Unlike other edge detection methods, the LoG approach combines Gaussian smoothing with second derivative operations, allowing for simultaneous noise reduction and edge enhancement.
Imageability is a measure of how easily a physical object, word or environment will evoke a clear mental image in the mind of any person observing it. [1] [2] It is used in architecture and city planning, in psycholinguistics, [3] and in automated computer vision research. [4]
An edge in an image may point in a variety of directions, so the Canny algorithm uses four filters to detect horizontal, vertical and diagonal edges in the blurred image. The edge detection operator (such as Roberts , Prewitt , or Sobel ) returns a value for the first derivative in the horizontal direction (G x ) and the vertical direction (G y ).
The result therefore shows how "abruptly" or "smoothly" the image changes at that point, and therefore how likely it is that part of the image represents an edge, as well as how that edge is likely to be oriented. In practice, the magnitude (likelihood of an edge) calculation is more reliable and easier to interpret than the direction calculation.
The FDIC is an independent government agency charged with maintaining stability and public confidence in the U.S. financial system and providing insurance on consumer deposit accounts.
Corner detection is an approach used within computer vision systems to extract certain kinds of features and infer the contents of an image. Corner detection is frequently used in motion detection, image registration, video tracking, image mosaicing, panorama stitching, 3D reconstruction and object recognition.
